Study identifies link between gut bacteria and deterioration of the brain in ALS, dementia
A significant discovery by Case Western Reserve University researchers could change how doctors treat two of the most devastating neurodegenerative diseases.
The team identified a link between gut bacteria and the deterioration of the brain in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). The researchers discovered that certain bacterial sugars cause immune responses that kill cells-and how to prevent it.
FTD mainly affects the brain's frontal and temporal lobes, causing changes in a person's personality, behavior and language. ALS primarily targets motor neurons, resulting in gradual muscle weakness and paralysis.
Most causes of ALS and FTD cases are unknown, although researchers have been examining several potential reasons, including genetics, environmental issues, brain injuries and diet.
The study, recently published in Cell Reports, solves a long-standing question about neurodegenerative diseases. The team discovered a molecular connection that explains why some people with specific genetic mutations acquire FTD and ALS and others don't.
Burberry, the study's senior investigator, reported that 70% of the 23 ALS/FTD patients examined had dangerous glycogen levels. Of those without the brain diseases, only a third had high levels of glycogen.
The study has immediate implications for patient care by identifying new targets to treat ALS and FTD, while providing biomarkers to identify patients who might benefit from gut-targeted therapies.
